Sahih al-Bukhari 5123 (Book 67, Hadith 59) #4905
Prohibiting Marriage with Foster Brothers

SUMMARY: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was not allowed to marry Durra bint Abu-Salama as her father was his foster brother.

Narrated Zainab bint Salama: Um Habiba said to Allah's Messenger "We have heard that you want to marry Durra bint Abu-Salama". Allah's Messenger said, "Can she be married along with Um Salama (her mother)? Even if I have not married Um Salama, she would not be lawful for me to marry, for her father is my foster brother".
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ عِرَاكِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ زَيْنَبَ ابْنَةَ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّ أُمَّ حَبِيبَةَ قَالَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ إِنَّا قَدْ تَحَدَّثْنَا أَنَّكَ نَاكِحٌ دُرَّةَ بِنْتَ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ أَعَلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ لَوْ لَمْ أَنْكِحْ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ مَا حَلَّتْ لِي، إِنَّ أَبَاهَا أَخِي مِنَ الرَّضَاعَةِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the prohibition of marriage between a man and woman if their fathers are foster brothers. A foster brother is someone who has been nursed by the same wet nurse, or has been adopted by the same family. In this hadith, Allah's Messenger was asked if he could marry Durra bint Abu-Salama, to which he replied that it would not be lawful for him to do so as her father was his foster brother. This teaches us that even though we may have strong feelings for someone, we must still abide by Islamic laws and regulations when it comes to marriage. We should also remember that our actions have consequences and must be taken seriously in order to maintain peace in our families and communities.
